-$\bullet$Jessica loves eating freshly steamed potato. When she has a lot of leftovers, she makes a potato salad. However, she notices she experiences a bit of flatulence after eating a large portion of potato salad compared to steamed potato

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The flatulence may be caused by the resistant starch in the potato salad, which is a type of carbohydrate that is not easily digested in the small intestine and ends up being fermented by bacteria in the large intestine, producing gas. Steamed potatoes have less resistant starch compared to potatoes that have been cooled and reheated or made into potato salad.
